Fruta Conquerors edge GFC 2-1 to stay unbeaten
-GFA U17 league
Home side Fruta Conquerors squeaked past the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) by a 2-1 score line in the battle of the unbeaten sides when the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) u-17 football league continued at the Tucville Community ground on Monday.
Randy Layne opened the scoring for the Tucville unit in the fifth minute with a left footed strike from the right side of the penalty box, which rolled under the body of the goalkeeper and into the lower right hand corner.
The Bourda based side would quickly level the scores in the 12th minute through a Lyndon Dorway header into the left hand corner, after receiving a cross from a corner kick within the centre of the area.
Layne would miss a great chance to put the Tucville side back into the lead in the 47th minute, directing his header just wide …..To continue reading, login or subscribe now.

Add the snubbers C7 + R8 and C8 and R9 as per datasheet.
Make yourself aware that an 18 V transformer will give more than 25 V DC. Do us a favour and get yourself a decent software to draw schematics with. There are enough freeware programs available.
If you've always done it like that, then it's probably wrong. (Henry Ford) |

Thank you pacificblue.
I want to know minimum gain for tda7265. If I used (18K/560R)+1=33 Gain @THD=10%. What about (22K/1K)+1=23 Gain @THD=????% Best Regards. |

I used two samsung tablet 19V switching supplies with my TDA-7265 amp. Seems to work great, and I don't notice any noise from the supplies. its been in use for a few months.

Transformer voltages are given at nominal load. If the load is lower, the voltage is higher. E. g. when you listen to music at low level or when the amplifier is on with no music playing at all. This is called transformer regulation. The smaller a transformer is, the bigger is its regulation. E. g. an 80 VA transformer will have ~15 % regulation, which means with no load the voltage will be 15 % higher, with 80 VA load the voltage will be exactly 18 V. A 160 VA transformer will have ~10%, the voltage will be 10 % higher, with 160 VA load the voltage will be exactly 18 V.
Assume a 160 VA transformer is used, so you get 18 V + 10 % and your DC voltage will be 19,8 V*1,41 = 27,92 V, more than 10 % above specs. You should not use capacitors with such a tight voltage rating. Mains voltage will fluctuate several percent up and down and the secondary voltage will rise and fall accordingly. Capacitors also have to cope with ripple. As a rule of thumb capacitors should have at least a 25 % higher voltage rating than the nominal voltage of your power supply. The datasheet specifies gain to be >= 25 dB, which is 17,78 times. Both your gain settings comply with that. THD is given for certain power levels, not for different gains, e. g. 10 % @ 25 W, 1 % @ 20 W, 0,02 % @ 1 W.
If you've always done it like that, then it's probably wrong. (Henry Ford) |

@pb, I suspect the TS has access to locally made transformers only, where it is the fashion to quote open terminal (unloaded) voltage so that they pass casual tests with multimeters at the point of sale. These are usually poorly made EI-frame transformers with up to 10% copper loss alone. For a given AWG, we get about 6 grades of wire locally - the most expensive being 5x the cost of the cheapest, and the only one with copper content over 90%. Guess which ones manufacturers like to use. Third world tends to be a little different The cost of a '200VA' transformer is between $4 and $5, so you can take a pretty good shot at guessing the quality of the parts and workmanship!
I've used the locally available transformers and the only solution is to get them custom-wound. A 90VA 18V transformer measures in at about 23VDC in this part of the world - though I do agree that 25V capacitors is cutting it too close. Mute pin in TDA amplifiers requires to be maintained at a small positive voltage (as opposed to LM series chips that need current to be drawn out of a pin). A simple resistor from the positive supply will do this, and a capacitor to ground will add a small time delay. If you look at the datasheet, attenuation reaches zero when the mute pin is 6V or so below the positive supply voltage. In your circuit, there needs to be one more resistor from Pin 5 to ground, depending on the value of the supply voltage and the mute resistor you already have. Alternatively, a zener may be used to maintain pin 5 voltage 6V below V+. High gain usually raises the noise floor. If you have a high gain setup and use a high signal level, you will generate excess THD. Typical sources have a voltage output level between 1 and 2VRMS. Your chip can put out a maximum of 30W into 8 ohms at 1% THD. This is a maximum voltage of 15V under any circumstances, so a voltage gain between 7 and 15 is adequate to achieve maximum undistorted output for this chip even though the minimum stable voltage gain is specified to be 18. If you have a source that is known to put out low voltages the additional gain may come in handy. I would use 18K/1K or even better, 1.8K/100 ohms. The lower resistor values result in lower noise, specially when using locally available parts. TDA7265 is used in the very popular and now obsolete MX5021 from Altec Lansing, a pretty good sounding multimedia system. |

Pacificblue, I am using local non-branded trafo so I think it should be below to printed specification i.e. 18-0-18 5 Amp. Accepted, I will use all caps rated 63v accept input caps 25v.
Sangram, Please look at attached picture's mute pin added resistor to ground compare to 1st post picture. |

That's better, pin 5 will now be at 1/2 Vcc, which should be adequate as long as your rails are over 12V. You can experiment with the capacitor to create slightly longer turn-on time.
Remember that with a bridge circuit you cannot use 25V, you will easily exceed the dissipation of the chip. The bridge circuit is rated for a maximum of 16V rails (from a 12V transformer) and only into a rated impedance of 8 ohms. The ST chips are exceedingly fragile and if you exceed SOA you have a fried chip, so you have been warned. If you've given this only use this for a reference to the mute pin and plan to use single-ended, I would use 20V rails to be safe. You can get that from a 15V transformer. |

Short story, I build several chips but still not settled. 1. TDA1554Q Build=Easy, Mute=Yes, Loudness=Poor, Price=Expensive 2. TDA2030 Build=Very Easy, Mute=No, Loudness=Poor, Price=Very Cheap 3. TDA2050 Build=Very Easy, Mute=No, Loudness=Good, Price=Cheap 4. LM3886 Build=Easy, Mute=Yes, Loudness=Very Good, Price=Very-Very Expensive 5. TDA7294 Build=Not Easy, Mute=Yes, Loudness=Very Good, Price=Very Expensive 5. TDA7265 Mute=Yes, Loudness=Don't know, Price=Cheap Rs.48 per chip You have written in another thread, when +- voltage properly balanced then tda2030,2050 does not POP, but practically not possible to me. By suppling the 12-0-12 trafo to TDA7265 and the loudness is equal to tda2030 then my purpose does not solve. Only advantage is MUTE. What to do ? Today, I have purchased everything required to tda7265 (easily available to local indian mkt) and going to build. Thank you & Best Regards. |

The neighborhood population nearly tripled from 1,500 residents in 2000 to 4,300 in 2010. The project formerly known as the Interchange is touted on the neighborhood association's website.
McLaughlin said the decision to put a tunnel under the rail lines was a bow to North Loop's desire to be connected.
The Twins are expected to develop 2,400 square feet of retail space near the hub. The businesses will be chosen to serve both rail riders and to meet the desires of the neighborhood, St. Peter said.
United Properties has an option to develop the space on top of the transit police headquarters, but what happens next there will depend on market forces, St. Peter said.
The station and plaza will open at the same time as the Central Corridor — sometime before Target Field plays host to the All-Star game in July 2014.

Famous Songs Become Buildings in Federico Babina's 'Archimusic'
Music often drives us to change the architecture of our bodies – if it wasn't for Rod Stewart's raw, animalistic beats or Barry Manilow's thrashing guitar, I wonder if I'd ever move at all. But seriously, the idea of music itself being architectural isn't too hard to fathom, whether in the way that it's laid out in blueprint form before it's actualized, in the way that a series of supporting sounds bolster one another and create a song, or in the 4'33" sense that silences create their own music, just as there's architecture in empty space. … Read More
Jack White: The Essential Career-Spanning Playlist
This week, Jack White will release his second solo album, Lazaretto. Out of all the music White has made — and all the classic styles he's attempted to put his own spin on — Lazaretto is the biggest mixed bag of them all, nodding to classic country, bluegrass, jazz, funk, and naturally, the blues (this is Jack White). Lyrically, the songs nod to White's own past in a more obtuse way than his 2012 break-up album, Blunderbuss: bad poetry and one-act plays White wrote when he was 19 served as the inspiration for some of the fictional characters we come to meet on Lazaretto. It also features yet another set of collaborators: White's new backing band. … Read More
Jack White Apologizes to Every Artist He's Ever Mentioned, Blames "Tabloid Journalism"
Over the last couple weeks, Rolling Stone has teased out its cover story on Jack White shamelessly. Multiple news stories emerged on the RS site, touting "scandalous" quotes from White's interview. Perhaps you saw the tidbit in which he bemoans Meg White's hermit tendencies and lack of encouragement ("She's one of those people who won't high-five me when I get the touchdown"), or his claims that The Black Keys ripped him off, though his feelings on the latter are nothing new following ugly emails that leaked last year. Over the weekend White condemned what he feels is "tabloid journalism," posting an apology letter on his website. In his explanation, White chides the non-apologies made by artists to cover their asses after they've swiftly stuck a foot in their mouth — while simultaneously apologizing to every artist whose name has passed through his own lips alongside his foot. … Read More
"We Were Spectacular": The Art of the Band Breakup Statement

Some of these are funny, some of them gloriously bitchy, and all thoroughly memorable. … Read More

Photos of Famous Musicians Playing in the Snow
If that was winter, we guess it's pretty much over, which is depressing news for those of us who actually enjoy the snow (and for anyone worried about, y'know, global warming and the future of the planet.) We're already looking wistfully back at the photos we published a couple of weeks back of famous authors playing in the snow, and we thought we'd follow up today with similar images of musicians. These were somewhat more difficult to track down — a legacy, perhaps, of the fact that musicians as a whole aren't exactly noted for being outdoor types — but still, there's plenty of snow-related musical imagery to be found if you look hard enough. So click through and try to ignore the fact that if these crazy warm summers are anything to go by, these sorts of pictures are probably gonna be the only way to see snow in a few years' time.

11 Great '00s Bands We'd Love to See Reunite
Having missed the chance to see Sigur Rós live, only to hear that they were going on "indefinite hiatus," we spent a reasonable amount of the last couple of years cursing ourselves for our foolishness. But happily, the band sent word earlier this year that it was reuniting, and this week sees the release of the new album Valtari. It seems that wishing really hard can make your dreams come true, because apart from Sigur Rós, some of our other favorite '00s bands — namely At the Drive-In, Death from Above 1979, and Grandaddy — have all announced in recent months that they're getting back together. This has all put a sizable dent (albeit a very welcome one) in our list of dream '00s reunions. But there are still plenty more that we can fantasize about, so here's a selections of 10 such daydreams — let's all hold hands and pray together, eh? … Read More

My First Three Steps Toward Financial Freedom
I was at a school function and had every reason to be depressed… With kids in elementary and middle school, I was getting an earful from a teacher about everything that's wrong with education in the school district.
Emphasis on standardized tests, teachers whose work and skill are given no respect and, most shocking of all, the administration insisting to this particular teacher that a nine out of 50 on his history exam is a passing grade (despite his vigorous protests). In other words, a kid who filled out A for every answer of this multiple choice test would pass the course.
This is going on all over the country. We're failing our kids, graduating young men and women who are not prepared for the real world.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."
CLICK HERE to get your Free E-Book, "The Little Black Book Of Billionaires Secrets"
But just as I was feeling pretty awful about the situation, I turned and walked into the exhibit hall. There, several hundred high school kids were up against each other in a robotics competition. These kids were smart. They were motivated. They were boys, girls, black, white, Hispanic and every other race and ethnicity you can think of. They were competing hard against one another, but having a party with each other at the same time.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was in the hall recruiting. So were Washington University in St. Louis and the U.S. Army. The army wasn't there looking for infantry. It was hoping to nab some of the country's brightest young engineers and technologists.
Seeing so many intelligent ambitious kids made me optimistic about the future – but it also got me thinking about differences in "the haves" and "the have-nots."
In terms of education, these kids were clearly the haves. Not because they came from great schools – some of them didn't. They were the haves because either a parent or teacher pushed them to grab the opportunities in front of them, or because they were self-motivated. Likely, a combination of the two.
Financially, in the United States, the gap between the haves and have-nots has widened significantly over the years.
According to the Spectrem Group, there are 8.99 million households in the United States worth at least $1 million, up 300,000 in 2012 due mostly to the stock market.
Unfortunately, Americans receiving food stamp assistance is at record levels at 47.8 million.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush recently told MSNBC (NASDAQ:CMCSA), "We're no longer socially mobile as a country," and "You have people that are born poor and there's a higher and higher probability that they're going to stay poor. And you have people that are born rich and there's a greater probability that they'll stay rich."
Life isn't always fair. Sometimes you don't get that deserved promotion, or an injury or accident hurts your ability to generate income. But if you're motivated, there are still ways you can ensure your family is among the haves. And you don't need a ton of money to start.
Here are three simple steps to get you underway:
- Live below your means and start early
Pretty obvious advice here, but by God it works.
And don't tell me it's impossible. When I graduated college, I lived in Manhattan while making $18,000 a year and saved money from every paycheck. While friends of mine were living in high-rises with doormen, I shared a room with a friend in a nasty walk-up apartment. I contributed to a 401(k), had enough for pizza and beer (admittedly, it was bad, cheap beer) and put a few bucks away that I invested and turned into a few more bucks.
Saving and investing money for the past few decades has created a portfolio larger than anything I could have imagined when I was fighting off roaches the size of dachshunds in my New York apartment.
- Make the right investments
My favorite is dividend stocks. But not just stocks with high yields. I'm more concerned with dividend growth. Here's a perfect example of why:
This week, Barron's reported that from 2007 to 2012, the dividends of the S&P 500 grew 14% while inflation totaled 12%. In other words, today, you need $1.12 to buy $1′s worth of 2007 goods. If you received $1′s worth of dividends from S&P 500 stocks in 2007, today you'd get $1.14, so you're ahead of the game.
Owning Perpetual Dividend Raisers (companies that raise their dividends every year) is the best way, in my opinion, to increase your buying power over time. Whether you take the income today or are saving for decades from now, these stocks ensure you'll have more money in your pocket than you need to keep up with inflation.
- Learn as much as you can
There are so many good books and resources out there for investors.
This site is a great place to learn about a wide variety of topics. Our sister site Wealthy Retirement focuses on how to plan and live better in retirement.
If you're new to the markets, my favorite book is Understanding Wall Street by Jeffrey Little. This book goes into the basics of what a stock, bond, option and ETF are. If you're new to investing, I can't recommend it highly enough.
The Little Book that Beats the Market by Joel Greenblatt is a terrific resource on value investing.
If you like the dividend growth method I mentioned above, Get Rich With Dividends is for you. Written by an author with one of the most insightful investing minds of the past 100 years (OK, it's me), Get Rich With Dividends shows you exactly how you can generate significant income or wealth by investing in these conservative dividend paying stocks.
Even if you're behind, it's not too late to ensure that in the future you're a "have" instead of a "have-not." The income and wealth gap in this country and many others continues to expand. Take the necessary steps to make sure you and your family are on the right side of the chasm.
Good Investing,

The current executive director is J. Randy Young, who has served in the role since May 30, 1985. The executive director serves at the pleasure of the governor, thus Young is not subject to reappointment.
Young has spent his entire career at the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission. Before becoming executive director, Young was a deputy director and chief engineer. He has also worked for the commission as a water resources engineer. Young was president of the National Association of State Conservation Agencies from 1999 to 2000, and has served as chairman and secretary-treasurer of the Interstate Council on Water Policy. He also serves on the Arkansas-Oklahoma Arkansas River Compact, Arkansas Pollution Control & Ecology and Arkansas Water Well Construction Commissions. Young holds an M.S. in Environmental Engineering and a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Arkansas.[1]
The office of executive director is authorized by Arkansas statute.[2]
Arkansas Code, Title 15, Chapter 20, Section 205
(a) The Executive Director of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Governor.
(b) The executive director shall be charged with the duty of administering the provisions of this subchapter and the rules, regulations, and orders established thereunder. |
The Arkansas Constitution requires all elected or appointed officeholders to be an elector. That is, they must fulfill the state's voter registration requirements -- being a U.S. citizen, a resident of Arkansas, at least 18 years old. Felons and citizens judged to be mentally incompetent by a court are also ineligible to vote and, by extension, to hold office.
Other requirements to complete a voter registration form -- essentially, qualifications to be an elector -- are given by Amendment 59, Section 6 of the constitution.
Incumbents may not hold any other state, federal, or civil office, and may not have ever been convicted of "embezzlement of public money, bribery, forgery, or other infamous crime."
Constitution of Arkansas, Article 19, Section 3
No persons shall be elected to, or appointed to fill a vacancy in, any office who does not possess the qualifications of an elector. |
Constitution of Arkansas, Article 5, Section 9
No person hereafter convicted of embezzlement of public money, bribery, forgery or other infamous crime, shall be eligible to the General Assembly or capable of holding any office of trust or profit in this State. |
Constitution of Arkansas, Amendment 51, Section 6
(6) The mail voter registration application form shall include the following questions along with
boxes for the applicant to check "yes" or "no" in response: |
Executive directors of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission are appointed by the governor and serve at his or her pleasure.[2]
Constitution of Arkansas, Article 51, Section 6
(a) The Executive Director of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Governor. |
Term limits
There are no term limits associated with the office of executive director.
State law does not establish any particular procedure for dealing with vacancies.
The executive director is the administrative head of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, which is charged with managing the state's water resources and a variety of water conservation programs. The commission's conservation division distributes a number of grants and tax incentives to reduce use of ground water, licenses nutrient managers that supervise the composition of poultry feed and commercial fertilizer, and controls the state's beaver population.
The executive director also oversees a variety of initiatives to make use of the state's groundwater more efficient, including improving sewers and waste management systems, financing upgrades to public drinking water and several other loan and grant programs.

- Water Development
- Water Management
State budget
The budget for the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission in Fiscal Year 2012 was $36,549,714.[3]
In 2010, the director received compensation in the amount of $101,579.[4] As the director is not a part of the state's executive department, his or her salary is determined by the state's Office of Personnel and Management. The OPM has classified the director under class code "U101U" for the purposes of determining compensation.

Product description
Seventy-five years in the future...Earth is ruled by China...Cities span entire continents...History has been erased...2087: Japan lies under a radioactive cloud, its denizens wiped out. America has been subjugated, its inhabitants dispersed in the world of levels. The banner armies of Tsao Ch'un - the Son of Heaven, supreme ruler of Chung Kuo - are mobilizing against pockets of resistance in the Middle East. But even the Son of Heaven cannot live forever. Already the envoys of the Seven Dragons are being turned away from the Black Tower. Faced with the capricious behaviour of an aging tyrant, the Wheel of Dragons is about to turn against its master. In the depths of the world of levels, far below the towers of genetics mega-corporations and the AI-controlled villas of the elite, far from the patrolling attack craft of Tsao Ch'un, the anger of the people is becoming outright rebellion. The fight for the new world is just beginning. Welcome to the future.

Another adventure for katie
Have you ever seen a man that caught your eye so completely that you had to have him. Be careful what you have to have.
My man was truly gorgeous his body was iron hard and the muscles glistened in the morning sun as i watched from above him. He must have gotten that feeling when you know someone is watching you, because suddenly he looked up directly Into my eyes. He smiled and his eyes smiled at me. When he stood fully up I could see that his shirt wasn't buttoned and His stomach muscles made a half dozen ripples of solid muscle. He had dark wavy hair and as he worked I watched Intently. He was gorgeous and I wanted him, his body a ll o f him. I surely wished I hadn't made appointments for the following Week. But in fact I had back to back appointments with a family of six boys, actually men.
My name is Katie M and I am a publicist. I travel to many places to talk to clients and potential clients. No I am not Married or engaged and no I don't ever plan to be. I am 5'6" and weigh 112 lbs most of which seems to be in my breasts. Measurements 38, 21, 34. This information always seems important to my clients so i figured you would want to know. I am blonde, blue eyed and of better than average looks. I turn a few heads and get my share of whistles. I love the Attention I know exactly what I want from life over the next five years. Each year I make a new five year plan. My only Outstanding plan for this year is to find a steady man to share my attributes with. I may be female and happy to be Female but I love to fuck. I prefer not calling it making love, you see I like to get right to it. If you see something you Want don't you buy it. It's kind of the same principle when I see eye candy I want to suck it or fuck it, why waste these Valuable years out of the saddle when you can ride baby ride.
The trip was a hoot, we spent a week on a lake water skiing with six brothers who were older than I am but they were Talented and wanted to have their own act at one of the water parks from Washington state to Florida. I would for a Large fee make it happen for them if I thought there talent warranted it. One of the boys absolutely made me wet and he knew it. A couple of times at the start of the week he surprise me With a French kiss, that really got my juices moving. I suppose you could say I Am sexually flirtatious Those French kisses were meant to arouse me and I kissed him back sucking his tongue until he moaned. One evening he came By my cabin to see if I wanted to go for a walk. Oh boy do I ,I need to find a place to work out, he suggested we work out at my cabin. I turned to him and said what do you have in Mind, oh I said seeing the huge bulge in his swim trunks. I hadnt gotten out of my bikini so I dropped the top with one pull of a string, I said your turn big boy he dropped his trunks, and seeing the object of my affection, I gasped at the size of
His erection. I said my my big boy, and as I crossed the room I pulled another string and another. By the time I stood in front of him he planted one of those wonderful kisses on my lips and locked on. He was himself a big boy 6'6" and all muscle .He was the baby of the brothers at 27 years old. He said where do you want it? I said big boy where ever you put it I am in need. He turned me around and bent me over and gave it to me in my ass. Oh he went slow not wanting to hurt me with his big cock. I said big boy put the peddle to the metal and don't go easy I like it deep and hard. Oh baby boy sttick it to me yes yes ohm baby you know your business . Honey yes grind omg I am coming oh god don't ever stop Oh my god please oh please fuck me he's, oh honey now I can feel you swelling you can't hold it back come with me come in me.
Yes baby yes keep going and I'll take you to another level I don't think you have been to. Don't pull him I know you will be Even bigger in just a couple mintues. Feel that honey yes what are you doing are you a witch casting a spell over me. This is my workout, part of it. I excersize my ass muscles and those in my vagina. My goal is to pull you back in. How am I doing honey, oh I can feel that it's working just fine. I reached inside my legs and found his balls and gave them a tug and a big squeeze He unloaded again. I said honey let me recover but leave your cock in me he is going to come bigger than you ever have In about ten minutes. I said put us on the rug doggie style and ram the hell out of me and don't stop even if
I scream. Even if you've come don't stop keep, ramming me baby. We both collapsed, good work out buddy, we should Train together So the jest of the whole act was trick skiing and jumping and at the end they did a spectacular trick. All six of them approach the ski jump but only one of them goes up the ramp the other five do flips and point to The one on the jump. He goes up the ramp and something further propells him up unti he is sixty feet above the boat. A small parachute comes out from him. Oops another small parachute until he must have twelve of them and he begins to come down.
Great act boys, now here's some business decisions that have to be made now. So we got into the what if's
and the leader of the Pack. The oldest was not the leader, it was the middle brother and he was the one who did the grand finale. He was muscular More so than the other five, he worked out five days a week I would
learn he was 6'1" so a little shorter. But of all the boys. He seemed the one to have the most ambition. It is difficult at best to iron out a contract with just one client but with six brothers.
Impossible. So i can meet with you here and now, or tomorrow. Oh he said very playfully now baby would be fine. It will take About four hours I would like to do this at my cabin so I can get comfortable. Would you like to meet me there in say fifteen Minutes.
They all said goodnight and off we all went. None of the brothers were married, they were all late 20's to mid 30's. Joe was Coming over to iron out the contracts. I wanted to shower and change into a gown for comfort. It had been a long day. All I was thinking about was if my new lover was waiting for me? Oh my god the shower felt amazing. I was leaning Back when I felt someone in the house? At least the feeling that I was not alone. He said don't scream it's Joe I thought You might need someone to wash your back and possibly here or here, oh yes yes there. What is it here or there? Both I said and you tell me Joe where would you like me to wash you? Lets start here Joe said, he kissed me and might as well have been fucking me, his tongue his suction, his muscular arms holding me tight but not to tight. Oh my god the Pressure he put between my legs with one
of his own, he was a pro at this and I wanted to be in his arms and his mouth Forever. Oh Joe where have you been all my life. He picked me up and pushed me into the wall as he entered my pussy. He didn't make it far, this man surpassed his little brother in the thickness of his cock and I had yet to find out, omg omg
He slammed his cock in me where no man had ever been. He was so fucking deep I couldn't breath. I said Joe my God man You are a stallion honey oh honey I'm coming oh Joe why you are amazing with that rod. Well he said we had to get her Clean. Now if you will come here I will dry you off. He gently laid me on my bed on my back. He straddled me and began Around my neck, then he would come up to kiss me, but instead he darted that tongue in and out of my mouth. It might tAs well have been my vagina because I came just as fast. He straddled me but would rub his shaft on me, just enoughThat I tried to grab it and put it in for him. It wasnt so much that he was a tease as it was a preview of things to come.And oh how I wanted him to hurry. It was as if I had craved what he was giving me for so long. He continued to blow down Between my breasts and he nibbled on each, then he moved lower, and as if a feather had opened my hips the soft warm Feeling we all get when we feel cared for, Joe had feelings for Katie he hadn't expected. His cock was rock hard and more
Than ready to fuck Katie for as long as she wanted him. Joe was blowing all around her needy lips then Inside her lips.Just as Katie thought she would scream, Joe clamped on to her inner lips sucking, he slid two fingers inside of her and Pumped her fast until she came. She was in the throws of her orgasm when Joe slid his cock inside of her. Now she Screamed omg omg fuck me Joe you are incredible honey omg omg ummmmmm honey. Joe was on his knees and he Pulled Katie to his cock and left her ass on his thighs he quickly brought her to another orgasm, he pulled his cock quickly And started inside Her ass, much to katies amazed and crazed mind it felt like two men. She finally could take no more when Joe kissed her deeply but he was still slamming her ass. She opened her eyes and indeed it was Joe kissing her .She could also see Matt the youngest brother fucking her ass. Just as she laid back to enjoy something nudged her pussy.
Then she felt someone enter her pussy, but Matt was fucking her ass and Joe was kissing her. It was John the oldest Who slid inside her pussy. Joe stopped kissing her and offered his cock to her mouth. Katie eagerly sucked him but she Felt someone on her other side, it was Sam the next to the youngest. He was stroking his cock but offered it to Katie to Suck. And suck she did all the while Matt was still ass fucking her and it felt wonderful and John was in her pussy, her Pussy was now climaxing for what she decided was the last time tonight. She asked all the boys to stop and take a shower.
She went first and took a quick one with Joe. While the others showered, Katie and Joe were able to reach an agreement.
One contract done, and while Joe went over that contract Katie was able to get two more ready. The first contract had to do with liability to the park, the second the responsibility of the brothers to keep the show fresh and new and without the Absence of one of them. Katie talked to the boys then about just having five of them in the finale. She wanted one of theOther brothers to train to take joes place in case he was injured. They
agreed they would do that. This contract stipulates that each man can do the others job. There was always one man who set up the trick and that tWas difficult but not like the performance, Katie wanted them to hire a crew of three minimum to do the set up and also be There for back up. Katie had already worked out there contract amount, and they knew she would still have to negotiate.So they hammered out the rest and as the sun came up Katie said where were we. The boys all said you are perfect for Us Katie but we need to get our beauty sleep.
Katie took a two hour nap, and got up to pack and head toward home. She had one stop to get a signature of the brothers Lawyer. He was one handsome hunk, and quite the flirt, when Katie saw the picture of his wife and daughter on his desk ,She found him to be less attractive and easily stopped his advancesq
On the road her thoughts turned back to Mike, her soon to be lover. All she could think about was his incredible body and Those eyes. But she really needed to get some sleep.
Katie will be back with Mikes story very soon

I agree with the first poster. Some editing problems - capitals out of place interupted (sp) the flow.

I like how Katie became less attracted to the lawyer when she saw he had a family. Good job Katie

Optical distortion correction in Optical Coherence Tomography for quantitative ocular anterior segment by three-dimensional imaging
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 3, pp. 2782-2796 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (443 KB)
A method for three-dimensional 3-D optical distortion (refraction) correction on anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images has been developed. The method consists of 3-D ray tracing through the different surfaces, following denoising, segmentation of the surfaces, Delaunay representation of the surfaces, and application of fan distortion correction. The correction has been applied theoretically to realistic computer eye models, and experimentally to OCT images of: an artificial eye with a Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) cornea and an intraocular lens (IOL), an enucleated porcine eye, and a human eye in vivo obtained from two OCT laboratory set-ups (time domain and spectral). Data are analyzed in terms of surface radii of curvature and asphericity. Comparisons are established between the reference values for the surfaces (nominal values in the computer model; non-contact profilometric measurements for the artificial eye; Scheimpflug imaging for the real eyes in vivo and vitro). The results from the OCT data were analyzed following the conventional approach of dividing the optical path by the refractive index, after application of 2-D optical correction, and 3-D optical correction (in all cases after fan distortion correction). The application of 3-D optical distortion correction increased significantly both the accuracy of the radius of curvature estimates and particularly asphericity of the surfaces, with respect to conventional methods of OCT image analysis. We found that the discrepancies of the radii of curvature estimates from 3-D optical distortion corrected OCT images are less than 1% with respect to nominal values. Optical distortion correction in 3-D is critical for quantitative analysis of OCT anterior segment imaging, and allows accurate topography of the internal surfaces of the eye.

Telkom Kenya is the sole provider of landline phone services in Kenya. It was previously a part of the Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (KPTC) which was the sole provider of both postal and telecommunication services. In 1999 KPTC was split into the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), the Postal Corporation of Kenya (POSTA) and Telkom Kenya.[1]
The company operates and maintains the infrastructure over which Kenya's various internet service providers operate. As of 2004, most internet service was provided via dial-up service. Jambonet, an important Kenyan ISP, is a subsidiary of Telkom Kenya.
In 2007 France Télécom (now Orange S.A.) acquired 51% of Telkom Kenya's shares.[2] According to an IHT report, France Télécom and the Kenyan government would bring 11 and 19 percent of their respective shareholdings on the market within three years of the deal's completion.[3]
In November 2012, the shareholding structure changed due to a decision by the Kenyan government to convert the its shareholder into equity in order to ease Telkom Kenya's debt burden.[4] It was subsequently confirmed that the Kenya government would retain 40% shareholding down from 49% with the remaining shares held by France Télécom.[5] In January 2013, France Télécom increased its stake in Telkom Kenya to 70% as a consequence of the government not having provided its full portion of 2012 funding.[6]

My first attempt at professional trance, inspired by the works of Above & Beyond and Darude... almost 3 months in the making... one of the BEST trance-ish tunes Ive ever made!
...Probably the most important thing I've learned during the making of this project was that trance isn't as easy to make as many people think, I must admit it was quite an accomplishment to mix and master this track with all the stuff that's going on in it and although is not perfect (far from perfect actually), I've learned A LOT of new things about music producing techniques and Im starting to develop new abilities for it! Haha so be ready, cause my next trance tunes will be something out of this world! :P
Special thanks to Karco, Kr1z, MICHhimself and DJBrixX for their constructive criticism, tips and support :)
Hope you enjoy it.
*WOW! Weekly 4th! Thank you so much everyone!!! ^^*
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This thing is AWESOME!
It's so upbeat!
I really like the part in 1:56-2:20
So mellow and flow!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Man i love your stuff! :)
I am a HUGE fan of bongos and percussive instruments in trance, and this was a seriously groovin song! amazing beats, prolly my fav ones in the portal, and awesome melodies! SERIOUSLY UNIQUE!
keep it up man!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
My favorite song on the portal so far.
This song was on the weekly top 5, methinks, just when i started making a lot of my serious track. It was a huge inspiration, and I still come back for a listen every now and then. I thought it was about time to write a review, just to letcha know how much this track means to me. :D 10 and 5's always.
Wow! That means so much to me man, Im really glad this helped you ^^
Good luck brotha! :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Somehow this reminds me of recovery...
I meant recovery from the financial crisis and the recession. Perhaps because it is just so merry and fancy. I want to hug you for this good music, but eh we live in different parts of the world and most of my friends who are ITM will think I'm gay... well, hugs over the web to you! You're really good! Kudos!

Saturday's Tips
Dunlop charge could be the value bet
Last Updated: 06/07/12 5:05pm
Ed Dunlop can saddle a welcome winner in Testosterone
It will take something of a leap of faith to support Bonfire in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on Saturday, but in the absence of a rock-solid favourite, he rates a value bet.
So You Think's 11th-hour withdrawal through injury has robbed the Group One event of its headline act, with the ex-Australian superstar due to have enjoyed his swansong before returning to stud in his native country.
However, Bonfire can use the situation to his advantage and atone for a lacklustre effort in the Investec Derby last time.
Placed at the highest level in France as a juvenile, Bonfire was all the rage for Epsom after turning in a faultless performance on his reappearance in the Dante at York.
The Manduro colt went into the Derby rated just a few pounds behind Camelot but the gap turned out to be much wider than that as Bonfire trailed home just over 13 lengths back in sixth.
However, Andrew Balding's charge clearly did not handle the Epsom cambers that day and, given that his half-sister Joviality is top-class over a mile, the mile-and-a-half trip looked beyond his capabilities.
Dropping back to 10 furlongs looks wise and he has shown in the past he can handle a bit of cut, should the forecast rain arrive in Esher.
Certainly he has plenty to find with the likes of Cityscape, Nathaniel and Monterosso, but the Eclipse has proved a rich hunting ground for three-year-olds in the past and the 12lb pull in the weights can only be a positive.
Spirit Quartz was far from disgraced when fifth in the King's Stand Stakes and must surely have a live chance in the Coral Charge.
A Group Three winner in Italy, he has acquitted himself well in six starts for Robert Cowell so far, culminating in his four-and-a-half-length defeat at Ascot.
He was also not beaten far by Bated Breath at Haydock in May and having shown he can operate on almost any ground, Spirit Quartz is one for the shortlist.
Testosterone flopped on her debut for Ed Dunlop but this 1.2 million guineas purchase can bounce back in the bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock.
A winner at Group Two and Three level in France last year, the Dansili filly also finished a creditable second to Galikova in the Prix Vermeille.
She was well beaten in the Arc before heading to the sales, where owner Nurlan Bizakov splashed plenty of cash to add her to his team.
Dunlop made no secret about needing the outing in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot, a race which was a tough ask on her British debut.
She blew up and beat just one horse home, but Dunlop knows the time of day with fillies and the booking of Johnny Murtagh only strengthens confidence.
Quiz Mistress looks the type to spring a minor surprise in a big race one of these days and her time can come in the bet365 Old Newton Cup.
This ultra-competitive heat is always tough to interpret but Quiz Mistress arrives on the back of a clear-cut success at Salisbury last time.
That was her second win in three starts for trainer Hughie Morrison and the four-year-old could still be on a handy mark.
Bond Fastrac can add to his victory at Beverley last month with success in the Coachman Caravans Quality Handicap back on the Westwood.
BELLEWSTOWN: 5.25 Zerashan, 5.55 Cullentry Royal, 6.25 Maggie Sue, 6.55 Whodoyouthink, 7.25 Without The Bop, 7.55 Usa, 8.25 Pique Sous.
BEVERLEY: 1.55 Rosie Hall, 2.30 Horatio Carter, 3.00 Avec Rose, 3.35 Bond Fastrac, 4.10 Light Zabeel, 4.45 Mistress Of Rome, 5.20 Legal Bond.
HAYDOCK: 2.20 Atlantic Sport, 2.55 Testosterone, 3.25 Quiz Mistress, 4.00 Rated, 4.35 Gabrial The Great, 5.10 Morache Music, 5.40 Tango Sky.
SANDOWN: 1.30 Ivor's Princess, 2.05 Spirit Quartz, 2.40 Spa's Dancer, 3.10 Kunooz, 3.45 BONFIRE (NAP), 4.20 Chiberta King, 4.55 Goodwood Atlantis.

Happy Birthday!
Hey Lor
Happy birthday!
BTW, did you no that your photos don't show on some RSS feed readers? I think you need to modify your feed template to use image tages as follows:
The trailing slash is the important part.
have a great day.
Blast. The tag didn't show. Let me try that without the braces:
img src="URL"/
oh how pretty. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Roses are always called for. Nice work in the PP. It's very painterly.
Beautiful shot!
Happy belated birthday :)!
The light, washed out tones actually work really well here, giving a nostalgic and somewhat graphic look. I like it a lot.
(And it's a bit late, but happy birthday.)
Just seen this and it's beautiful. When I shoot for garden magazines they always want the spent flowers and heads removed – the flowers have to be perfect and either budding or blooming (unless it's something on disease or seeds). It means their pages look good but to ignore the spent flowers is to ignore a crucial part of the cycle, isn't it?
Again with the wonderful dreamy effect, well done.
the muted colours are stunning, gd shot :,

Yes, my computer is still out of commission, but long-time visiotrs will notice that the list below has been significantly shortened. Through some research and luck (mostly that of other people), the ever-pesky LaBrash family have been traced back to their origins in France. This is big news; it only took me 7 years to get to this point. In conjunction with this, I'm forging ahead with my plan to make this site a more complete compilation of LaBrash research. If there's anything I'm missing, or if you have questions, please email me.
To paraphrase a certain Irish rock band, I still haven't found whom I'm looking for. So I'm using my bit of bandwidth to put out an A.P.B. on the following:

| WSOs - Specific Options For Refund Policy That Cannot Be Changed...
Hello, When someone posts a new WSO, I would like to see a dropdown list which forces them to select a refund policy... Once the WSO is approved, it cannot be changed..... Why? I have seen..... Sellers deleting their Money Back Guarantee.... Sellers changing their WSO text from 90 Day Money Back Guarantee.... To 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.... And..... Sellers stating they have a Money Back Guarantee... BUT, they add conditions when you request a refund.... Of course, these were not stated in the WSO.... All that was stated was a Money Back Guarantee..... Most people wouldn't buy if they knew it was up to the seller if they get their money back... I know someone will say you would need hundreds of items in the list to cover "all" of the possible refund policies... That is not true.... Paul could have a half dozen or so.... WSO posters can choose whatever fits them best... Now, how much "extra" work does that cause the Warrior Forum? It is a very little... 1. Change the WSO posting rules to state the Money Back Guarantee can be "restated" in the WSO text. BUT, they must select a Money Back Guarantee option in the dropdown. 2. They would need to add the dropdown list so it is displayed when one posts a WSO. In the end, having the refund policy "etched in stone" benefits the buyers and sellers. The buyers know the refund policy won't change. The sellers know if a buyer attempts a refund or chargeback, they have proof the buyer was aware of their stated refund policy. Thanks, Rich Beck |

Strengthening Community, One Individual at a Time
Posted By Nancy LeaMond On July 30, 2013 @ 3:12 pm In Livable Communities | No Comments
When it comes to strengthening community, we talk a lot about the role of institutions: government, business and nonprofits. But
an underreported and underappreciated story is the role of the individual – you and me. There are so many engaged and active people across the country who are creating significant and lasting change in their cities and communities. And I have a wonderful example in longtime AARP volunteer Margot Seay.
A resident of Kingsport, Tenn., Margot saw a need for her community to adapt to, and embrace, an age-diverse population. Largely due to Margot's advocacy, tenacity and strong relationships with local officials, Kingsport created a blue-ribbon task force of former city officials who pledged to make Kingsport a model livable community for people of all ages. After working with Margot and the AARP Tennessee state office to survey the public to solicit their feedback and ideas, Kingsport prioritized:
Kingsport has developed a trail for walking and biking called the Greenbelt – which is easily accessible from various points across the city. They took on the simple and affordable job of re-striping several streets, which made streets safer for cars and pedestrians (and also improved some of their parking issues). And last we checked, they were seeking bids to redevelop their downtown area.
Margot is one shining example of the millions of people who are looking for opportunities to make a difference. If you have any best practices or ways that you've brought about positive change in your community, we'd love for you to share your story at www.AARP.org/livable. And if you're looking for new ways to give back, please visit www.createthegood.org to find volunteer opportunities near you.
